So after the big MDA Harley Ride to Wendover the past few year, many of you know that Gary has been itching for his own bike. Well we were lucky enough to be able to purchase one this summer! It has been a lot of fun to ride...the few times I have :) And I have discovered a whole new side to Utah!
Alpine Loop
As close as we are to the mountains, I am surprised we do not do more. One Sunday morning we got up early and headed to breakfast up in Heber. (Thanks to Grammy for having a sleepover with the kids) What a great ride up. After breakfast we decided we really didn't have anywhere to be so why not take the long way home over the Alpine Loop. What a beautiful ride that was. It is such an amazing experience on the back of a bike...you feel so close to nature.
A view from the back of the bike heading up the loop! Gar and I at the top of the loop.
Mount Timpanogas....breathtaking
Oh I might mention...we did the ride with my dad..here we are...I'm one tough motorcycle mama!
We had such an amazing time we are planning to do it again this fall when all the leaves start changing colors.
Silver Lake
So our next trip up the canyon did NOT include the new ride. We wanted to take the kids up for a "hike" around Silver Lake. It is a small lake and a perfect "hike" for little legs. Just when the kids were bored and tired...we were done! The weather was perfect and the scenery breathtaking.
A fun part about the walk is that there are info signs posted along the way to learn about different things. Like the grasslands, or the different types of flowers or how the water we see up there, makes it to our house within 24 hours. Shantel learned lots of interesting facts.

Gary and Kristine: What a beautiful family you have. Keegan sounds like a typical Waldron, pitching fits! I know about because I am a Waldron,also living in Shreveport, LA. and old enough to be your parents. I just happened upon your blog and wanted to say "Hi!" - Bill Waldron (from the Southern branch of the family).
So jealous of your biking adventures! Glad you made it to Siver Lake. Fun for the kiddos :)
